Lyrics He Made A Woman Out Of Me - Bobbie Gentry
I
was
born
on
a
levee
A
little
bit
south
of
Montgom′ry
Mama
worked
in
the
big
house
And
Daddy
he
worked
for
the
county
I
never
had
no
learnin'
Until
I
turned
sixteen
When
Joe
Henry
come
up
the
river,
y′all
Lord,
made
a
woman
outta
me
(Yes,
he
did)
Lord,
he
made
a
woman
outta
me
(Yeah)
I
used
to
tease
Joe
Henry
I
guess
it
served
me
right
Wasn't
long
'til
he
left
me
Cryin′
out
in
the
night
Joe
Henry
had
his
say
He
went
and
set
me
free
I
need
tell
everybody
That
the
man
made
a
woman
outta
me
Lord,
he
made
a
woman
outta
me
(Yeah)
When
I
think
back
to
that
day
So
long
ago
I
get
a
little
feelin′
on
my
mind
Although
it
hurt
me
There's
one
thing
I
know
When
he
left,
he
left
him
a
woman
behind
(Behind)
When
I
meet
another
young
man
Wantin′
to
love
and
run
(Yeah)
My
mind
goes
back
to
Joe
Henry
James
And
the
heck
of
a
job
he
done
(Uh-huh)
Ain't
no
other
man
let
me
down
You
see
I′ve
been
set
free
Ever
since
way
back
yonder
When
Joe
made
a
woman
outta
me
(Yes,
he
did)
Lord,
he
made
a
woman
outta
me
(He
made
a
woman)
Made
a
woman
outta
me
(Yeah)
Joe
made
a
woman
outta
me
(Uh-huh-huh)
Lord,
he
made
a
woman
outta
me
(Yes,
he
did)
Joe
made
a
woman
outta
me
(He
made
a
woman)
Lord,
he
made
a
woman
outta
me
